FITZ & THE TANTRUMS, "Winds of Change"
I'm the girl in the red and white dress seen throughout the video. I get to fly at the end!
THE HOLD STEADY, "Chips Ahoy"
This is lower quality than I'd like, but a terrific video. Check it out. I get to hang upside down and ride a mechanical horse.SOCIAL DISTORTION, "Machine Gun Blues"
My part is short (starts at 3:29!), but it was really fun! Lucky to be a part of this great music video/short with a legendary band. I play the solider's wife who comes in to find the carnage.

Info
- SummaryActing and writing background. Feature-length directorial debut complete.
Highest aspirations in film are to work with directors Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen, Mike Leigh, and actors Daniel Day-Lewis, Ciaran Hinds, Bryan Cranston. There are a lot more, but this is as succinct as I could get. I'd also love to be serenaded by Leonard Cohen, for film, TV, or just life.Experience- 2009 - PresentDirector, Writer, Actress, Producer / KALEIDOSCOPE, feature filmA feature film about a virgin about to kill herself on her 21st birthday when she's interrupted by a surprise visit from her out-of-town best friend.

And a BADASS. Mostly.
- 2011 - 2011Actress / SOCIAL DISTORTION, "Machine Gun Blues" music videoA 1930s bank robbery that turns into a bloodbath. Really ambitious music video that looks terrific and is more like a short film. I play the soldier's wife who happens upon the brutal crime scene and finds her husband among the deceased. Mine's a short bit, but a good one.
